Laser Services
Dr. Wingfield and Dr. Sasaki are experienced in performing laser procedures, and they are up-to-date in the latest technology and techniques. Thus, you can have confidence that you will achieve your treatment goals in the safest and most efficient manner. Because they have a special interest in lasers, we have a wide array of equipment to treat every aspect of your skin. We are pleased to offer non-surgical skin tightening laser treatments with the Harmony ST laser. There is no down time and minimal discomfort with this technique. It tightens skin by heating the deeper layer of skin causing collagen to contract and remodel. Works especially well for jowls and lax neck skin, also used for upper arms and abdomen.
We are also equipped to treat acne scarring and wrinkles with both the plasma resurfacing technology called the Portrait Plasma Resurfacing and Juvia fractionated CO2 resurfacing. Both procedures can be done without general anesthesia – we perform them in the outpatient setting in our clinic. The entire face and neck can be treated, or smaller areas like the eyes or mouth can be treated alone
Our hair removal laser is the latest technology and can safely treat all skin types quickly and efficiently. Brown or black hair on the face or body can be effectively removed.
Intense pulsed light with the Harmony AFT is one of the most popular laser treatments we offer . It is perfect for sun-damaged skin since it treats both sun spots and enlarged blood vessels on the face and body areas. Certain skin conditions like acne and rosacea can also be improved with the lasers.
Tattoo removal is another popular laser procedure in our clinic. Please schedule a consultation to discuss pricing and outcomes for your tattoo. Certain colors respond more readily, and treatment price is based upon the size of the tattoo.
For leg veins that cannot be treated with sclerotherapy (or patients with a needle phobia) we offer laser treatment of leg veins.
Our staff is very experienced in laser procedures and is closely supervised by Drs. Wingfield, Hughes, and Sasaki. Teresa Puzz, LPN, comes to us with over 10 years of experience in her field as a laser nurse. She has been a licensed practical nurse for 20 years. Teresa has had extensive training on the uses and benefits of laser operations and together you can formulate a plan to achieve your desired outcome. You can call to schedule a free laser consultation to get started on the new you.
Intense Pulsed Light (Harmony AFT):
Reverse that sun damage! A series of 2-6 treatments removes freckles, sun spots, and broken blood vessels on the face or body. Some improvement in fine lines and wrinkles is a side benefit. No down time associated with this treatment.
Hair Removal: (Tired of tweezing or shaving?)
A series of 3-6 treatments depending upon site and amount of hair present. Only works for pigmented hairs. Can be used for face and body hair including underarms, breasts, back, bikini line, arms and legs. Our laser can safely treat all skin types.
Juvia Fractional Skin Resurfacing:
This state-of-the-art fractional resurfacing technology evens out skin texture changes caused by acne scarring or wrinkles. Peeling of the top layers of skin is the first benefit, but over the following months collagen will tighten and improve wrinkles and scarring. The quality of your skin continues to improve for up to an entire year after this procedure. High energy Juvia has down time associated with it ranging from 7-10 days. Juvia performed in the office under local anesthesia and light sedation (if needed). Can be utilized for problem areas around eyes or mouth, or the entire face can be treated.
Laser Vein Treatment:
A noninvasive treatment designed to treat small facial and leg vessels. Laser targets spider and blue veins. A series of at least 3 sessions is usually required.
Photodynamic Therapy:
Perfect for rejuvenation of severely sun damaged skin. Also helps with acne, scarring, and sun spots. Laser light is applied to the skin after pre-treatment with a medication which allows the laser light to be absorbed more deeply into the pores and oil glands. This treatment also decreases size of the oil glands and helps control severely oily skin. Can be repeated at 3-4 week intervals if needed. Requires strict avoidance of all sunlight for 36 hours after treatment.
Skin Tightening Laser (Harmony ST):
Infrared light is applied to areas of base skin to cause remodeling and tightening of collagen fibers in the skin. A non-surgical way to re-define your jaw line and decrease facial wrinkling. Also works to improve skin tone. No down time is associated with this treatment. Can be used for face, neck, abdomen, arms, and other body sites where slacking skin is the main problem. Most patients require 6 sessions spaced 3 weeks apart.
Tattoo Removal:
Depending upon ink color, location, and size of the unwanted tattoo, 6 to 10 treatments may be required. Some tattoo ink colors cannot be removed by lasers.
